Question

define electrovalent bond ? state the condition nfor the formation of ionic bond ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.

*condition -

The conditions for the formation of an electrovalent bond are as follows: The atom which changes into cation (+ ive ion) should possess 1,2 or 3 valency electrons. It will loose these electrons to form cation with +1,+2 or +3 charge.
